This document is one in a series of resource manuals providing child welfare content that can be included in existing core courses in social work education programs, i.e., social work policy, social work practice, social work research, and human development in the social environment. Part 1 of the document discusses the reasons for developing child welfare core courses, the process for the development and use of the child welfare content, and the five specific issues selected for development. Part 2 presents eight sections of material that can be used in teaching the meaning and importance of the first of these issues, "Attachment and Separation," for child welfare services. Sections I through VI include a discussion of the issue, learning objectives, case studies, learning exercises, and a list of audiovisual resources and resource persons. Material provided in these sections can be used in any of the four core courses. Section VII lists readings for each of the core courses, and section VIII provides guidelines for incorporating the material on separation and attachment into each of the four core courses. (BH)
